Course Description

Hazards of Asbestos in the Workplace

Identifying hazardous wastes according to RCRA regulations helps environmental professionals to determine how the waste must be managed.

Its heat-resistant properties make it almost indestructible and due to this elemental property, asbestos have been widely used in the construction industry, especially for pipe and boiler insulation. Asbestos was sprayed onto different surfaces for fire protection purposes, but this practice was banned due to the hazardous nature of asbestos. Furthermore, it is no longer used for insulating pipes and boilers. However, asbestos can still be found in many older buildings.

Those who work in construction, repair, demolition and renovations are at a greater risk of contracting asbestos-related diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. There is no safe level for exposure to asbestos. This course introduces the students to the hazards of asbestos in the workplace and provides information about the measures that must be taken in order to minimize the effects of exposure to asbestos.

As a Health and Safety Inspector, you know that it is important to understand the relationship between asbestos exposure and the potential health effects related to such exposure. You are very well aware that an understanding of this relationship can aid in protecting yourself and others during the process of performing an asbestos inspection.

As Inspectors are constantly faced with liability and litigation issues due to the critical role they play in the asbestos management process, it is vital that a course covers those particulars. The Legal Liabilities of Asbestos Inspectors course provides a review of the inspection report, which is an integral part of the management plan and is the basis for all subsequent actions taken by the school.

Legal Liabilities of Asbestos Inspectors

Category: General Industry

As Inspectors are constantly faced with liability and litigation issues due to the critical role they play in the asbestos management process, it is vital that a course covers those particulars. The Legal Liabilities of Asbestos Inspectors course provides a review of the inspection report, which is an integral part of the management plan and is the basis for all subsequent actions taken by the school.

The inspection report provides guidance for the following:

The development of operations and maintenance strategies

The determination of response actions

If the inspector fails to document an area of asbestos-containing material in the school or if the inspector improperly assesses the condition of the asbestos-containing material and the building owner is sued, the inspector would almost certainly become involved in asbestos litigation.

During this lesson, we will review liability issues and the basic concepts involved with insurance and bonding for professionals performing asbestos inspections.

Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this course, you will be able to:

Develop an appreciation of the legal liabilities and responsibilities of professionals involved in inspecting buildings for ACM

Understand the purpose and limitations of insurance for professionals engaged in asbestos-related work

Understand the purpose and limitations of bonding in asbestos-related work
